a little late but...
I'm currently enjoying two of my favorite Christmas presents: simultaneously!
The beautiful voice of Gillian Welch is piping through my humble headphones, and I fall more and more in like (I usually reserve the term 'love' for more sacred things) with her songwriting, singing, and playing. So thanks to Lori and Joe for my copy of her "Soul Journey" album. I also received Sean Watkins' "26 Miles" and Tim O'Brien's "Traveler." Good stuff all around.
And at the very same time I am wearing a T-shirt featuring Homestar. And it's very cool. Even cooler that today is the first day in a LONG time that there's been something new on the homestarrunner.com site. Thanks Em and Steve for the high-stylin fashions. Maybe soon I'll also be wearing the pants from Old Navy that Michelle got me. Lots of Old Navy stuff for the both of us this year. I guess they've got us pegged.
And I must mention the latest addition to my growing pile of cool/random instruments. Mom and Dad got me a 2 course gourd thumb piano. If you have no idea what that is, come by and check it out.
You may or may not notice that I'm not a very faithful blogger. That's about to change. Trust me. There's always pictures and such on the family site too.

I'd love to come by and check it out, but it's slightly inconvenient at the moment. Can you put a pic somewhere of that piano?? I'm absolutely intrigued.
btw, I may be able to come by and check it out in March...so hopefully see you then.
also btw, do you know exactly what day Sarah Barker's bday is? I know it's sometime at the end of Jan....
you can see a picture here: http://www.wiegersfamily.com/photos/section.asp?id=149
scroll to the bottom: it's the "thanks mom and dad" picture. I'll take a better one for you.
I think her bday is the 23rd. Maybe the 21st. I'll find out.
